Am I stupid for not being able to recognise guns (mainly rifles) by sight?

For example, in pic related. I can see the difference between them, but if you showed me a picture of one without it being said what it is, I'd have no idea. I couldn't even tell you if it was a Mauser or an Enfield.

Is it just a case of not having an interest enough in rifles to learn, or do some people just recognise different shit easier? I'm not too bad with pistols for example.
Am I just missing something completely obvious?

I ask because I'm also terrible at recognising faces, so I'm wondering if the two are linked.

Any general tips on how to identify them? Aside from the obvious look for a name.

Just takes time and familiarity, also helps if you own the rifle. Also autism, lots and lots of autism.

I only really recognize guns that I've handled personally, or used often in vidya gaems where they're featured prominently and with great detail

So it's just a case of exposure?

Thanks anons.

yeah the fact you can't recognize guns means you're a total newbie and need to educate yourself.

Who cares if you can't differentiate between 100 different milsurp rifles?

I can recognise handguns, modern rifles and scatterguns (to a degree).

It's specifics (exact model) and older rifles that I can't do. I'm guessing the last one is in part due to the majority of them having a fairly similar design concept.

And I'm attempting to educate myself. I wouldn't say I'm a newbie though.

play call of duty for a while and you'll learn to tell the difference.

No more stupid than a person who can recognize old fashioned cars by sight. Guns are pretty distinct.

Misread your post. Yes you are retarded for not being able to recognize guns by sight.
